How to make the sound
Begin with a short /j/ glide and move directly into the long rounded /uː/ vowel.
What to feel and listen for
The /j/ is brief and attached to the vowel; do not insert a pause between the two parts.
Common mistake: Do not separate /j/ into its own syllable; in American English the /j/ drops after t, d, n — 'tune' sounds like /tuːn/.
